I was a bit bored this morning so I was thinking of ways to get more traffic around the site. One of the shortcomings of the current way I do things is the Archive part. I was basically a series of pages (i.e. 1 | 2 | 3….) with links to all the posts on them and a line or so from the start of the post. It worked but wasn’t exactly search engine friendly. Plus the link to the archive was just a single link from the sidebar. Again not the most search engine friendly way of doing it.
I decided to redo it in the way some other blogs do with links to an archive page for each month and then displaying the posts for that month in abreviated form with a couple of paragraphs from the post and a link to it. It’s more search engine friendly (content is king!) and should help the spiders get around a bit easier.
I didn’t really need to post about this but I didn’t have anything for “November, 2005″ yet!
